R6 RapidBus launches on busiest bus route south of the Fraser

TransLink says its new R-6 Scott Road RapidBus is now cruising the streets on what it calls the busiest bus corridor south of the

Fraser.

TransLink says the R-6 is geared toward Surry and Delta residents and Kwantlen University students, who can expect to shave a few minutes off their trips between Scott Road station and the Newton bus exchange.

The transit operator says the R-6 can carry more riders than past services as Surrey and Delta lead the way in growing ridership numbers in the region.

TransLink says ridership on Surrey and Delta buses is now 16 per cent higher than in 2019, and the new rapid bus will accommodate the growing demand.
